A Fascinating Journey to the Dawn of Prehistory

The Vézère Valley home to a world-unique concentration of decorated caves and prehistoric sites.

Must-see highlights during your stay:

• Lascaux IV (International Centre for Cave Art) in Montignac: an impressive, full-scale replica of the world’s most famous cave.

• La Roque Saint-Christophe: a dramatic 1 km-long limestone cliff wall housing Europe’s largest troglodyte village site.

• Les Eyzies-de-Tayac: the world capital of prehistory and home to the National Museum of Prehistory.

• Font-de-Gaume Cave: one of the very few major prehistoric sites featuring original polychrome cave paintings still open to the public.

Strolling through the valley is all about taking your time: admiring the cliffs from the river, immersing yourself in thousands of years of human history, or browsing local markets scented with truffles and duck delicacies.

Nature, Charming Villages, and Périgord Heritage

Beyond prehistoric landmarks, the Périgord Noir reveals bucolic landscapes and remarkably preserved historic architecture.

Surrounded by rivers, medieval castles, and rolling green hills, the region invites you to discover:

• Saint-Léon-sur-Vézère: one of the Most Beautiful Villages of France, nestled peacefully along a loop of the river.

• Canoeing and kayaking: gentle river trips providing a unique perspective on the limestone cliffs and castles above.

• Iconic medieval towns: such as Sarlat-la-Canéda or cliffside Rocamadour.

• Hiking trails and night gourmet markets: popular summer gatherings to taste local specialties under the stars.
